This is a Turan II second generation Hungarian-manufactured tank. It was expected to counter the Soviet T-34 successfully, at its 75mm cannon was powerful enough for it, but because of the short barrel, it was inaccurate beyond a few hundred yards, giving enemy tanks with a much longer range an edge in battle. It was not until Budapest built the Zrinyi II 105mm assault howitzer that the T-34's had a very dangerous opponent, although at shorter ranges.
